Got my fake Republican "census form" in the mail today! Here's my reply.

[Lesleymo]

Dear Michael Steele,

I was a little surprised to receive your "OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT FUND RAISING PLEA DISGUISED AS A CENSUS FORM" in the mail today. I am quite honored that you want to know my views about the Republican Party.

But your questions are making me mad. For example (and I quote) -

"How much does it concern you that the Democrats have total control of the federal government?"

"Do you believe the huge, costly Democrat-passed stimulus bill has been effective in creating jobs?"

"Do you worry that the Obama Administration is committed to greatly expanding the government's role in your life?"

And on and on and on ...

Come now, Mr. Steele. If you want me to answer your inflammatory questions, kindly fill out the form below, attach a check for $25 or more, and send it to me. You already have my address.

Question # 1:
The Republican strategy is to:
__ Propose absolutely no ideas
__ Vote no
__ Propose ideas, and then vote no on the exact same ideas

Question # 2:
When you look back on the Bush years, do you think:
__ Bush was not a true Republican
__ Bush was misunderstood
__ Bush who?

And Question # 3:
According to the Republicans, a true American is someone who:
__ Votes Republican
__ Attends tea party rallies with other Medicare and Social Security recipients
__ Would never be mistaken for an illegal alien, even in Arizona
__ Thinks Glenn Beck is serious
__ All of the above

Thank you for your time, Mr. Steele. And now, I plan to print this out and return it to you in your Business Reply Envelope. No check attached.

1. You could have sent it to the U.S. Postal Inspectors/Census Bureau

as it is now illegal to send out fake census.

I hope RNC gets fined all of its remaining assets and declare bankruptcy for years to come.

[Sherman A1]

15. Precisely

The thing to do!

[havocmom]

31. +1000

Turn it over to where something can be done. The RNC is breaking the law! Book 'em Danno

[Beavker]

40. The only problem

is that the pugs that get this need to be able to read, and comprehend!

[treestar]

2. LOL #1

Was he concerned when Republicans had Congress and the Presidency both? I think not. Typical Republican hypocrite.

[Oilwellian]

20. Only ashes?

I thought one of my dog's turds would be more appropriate. :D

[GoCubsGo]

36. Monopoly money even more appropriate

Or, send 'em one of those fake million dollar bills with bible quotes that the fundies like to pass out.

[rasputin1952]

43. I have a sack I'll donate!

I have 2 mid-sized dogs, both of them are crap machines! I save the turds in old dog food bags for the garbage collectors but and would LOVE to send them to the R's!...:evilgrin:

I'd send them to Boehner and McConnnell, but they produce more crap in a day, than my 2 furfaces can produce in a month!

Thanks for the plug!

[Historic NY]

[happygoluckytoyou]

21. I GOT YOUR ANSWERS RIGHT HERE...--==>>>>>

Question # 1:
The Republican strategy is to:
__ Propose absolutely no ideas
__ Vote no
__ Propose ideas, and then vote no on the exact same ideas
_X Trick poor and stoopid people into thinking that THEY are part of the REPUBLICAN ELITE, and would suffer from income redistribution & health care

Question # 2:
When you look back on the Bush years, do you think:
__ Bush was not a true Republican
__ Bush was misunderstood
__ Bush who?
_X I wonder why and how we let OBAMA create all these issues while DUBYA was in office

And Question # 3:
According to the Republicans, a true American is someone who:
__ Votes Republican
__ Attends tea party rallies with other Medicare and Social Security recipients
__ Would never be mistaken for an illegal alien, even in Arizona
__ Thinks Glenn Beck is serious
__ All of the above
_X Is white. Pretty much it is a race thing. Or Poor. Poor whites can stay in American but only if they believe we are looking out for them.

23. Just want to mention how little attention we give to MIC/government growth . . .!!

[classof56]

24. K&R!

:kick:

[crim son]

25. This is one of the best things I have EVER read here on DU.

Bookmarked, Favorited and about to be sent to everybody I know. :thumbsup:

[Sheepshank]

26. I suppose you could have e-mailed Mr Steele

that you were conserving and reducing gov't expenses and combined both census questionnaires into one prepaid envelope :)

[Vincardog]

27. IF it comes with a pre paid envelope tape it to a cinder block and mail it back

[Zambero]

28. I can't wait to get mine

Hey, this sounds like fun. Customize the response form and return to Steele. The original mailing will be sent to the Census Bureau asking if and when the sender will be prosecuted for misrepresentation.

[Mad_Dem_X]

29. Perfect! n/t

[mfcorey1]

30. Classic!!!!

:kick:

[Autonomy]

32. I've heard of push-polling, but push-censusing

is a even lower! Excellent reply! K&R.

[dflprincess]

33. My mother received one of those

we can't figure out how she landed on their list. She was irate over it and the fact the front of the envelope said something like "Offical Document - Do not discard". She did wonder if they were targeting seniors with it as there are people her age (86) who might be fooled by something like this.

I took it and filled it out listing her party affiliation as "former Republican" (which is not true she's always been a Democrat, but let them think they're alienating people).

I just added comments to their questions rather than picking their answers. Like the one about "Obama running up the debt" - I noted that it was Bush that did that with his wars of choice.

[Bette Noir]

34. How come, when Latinos appear in public without papers, they're jailed,

and when Republicans break the law, people send them money? I don't get it.

[GETPLANING]

35. Put an old brake rotor in a box....

tape the business reply envelope to the box, and put in in the mail.

[Zephie]

37. My mom got one yesterday

My mom is elderly and I get her mail for her on a regular basis. She is also in terror of the government (I don't know why, she doesn't listen to Conservative propaganda) and is afraid that if she doesn't fill out anything that says it's "offical" the police will come and get her. I threw it out before she saw it =D

[PatSeg]

38. Welcome to DU

And the republicans know there are people out there like your mom and they take advantage of them.

[beac]

39. Marvelous!

:applause:




Hope you threw something heavy in the envelope before mailing. ;)

[Lesleymo]

41. My next piece of outgoing mail will be ...

... a Mail Fraud Report with the original "questionnaire" attached. This is turning into quite a fun project!!
LOL
